Chapter 466 I’m Not Bad Either

Chen Kangtuo thought it must be because Boss Pei did not want his thinking to influence the others.

Every investor has his own unique skills. If Chen Kangtuo were to take care of everything

– plan for them or choose the sites for them, then no one would use their brains and their unique skills would be wasted.

Boss Pei’s move was definitely aimed to fully mobilize the subjective initiative of these investors so everyone could do their most.

All these were explained based on the Tengda spirit.

Chen Kangtuo felt that the truth should be not far off from his speculation. However… he could not say it out since Boss Pei requested it this way. Chen Kangtuo was caught in the middle.

Li Shi was a little discouraged seeing how Chen Kangtuo’s expression changed slightly but still stayed silent. It seemed to make sense, but he could not do anything. He did not know how Boss Pei treated his subordinates. They were all extremely loyal and strictly abided by their orders.

He really had something to him.

The situation seemed to have reached a deadlock. Should they all go home and come back another day?

No! That definitely could not work!

Li Shi had no other way. He clapped. “Alright, everyone, be quiet!

“If that is the case and everyone is on the same boat, no one should have their own motives! Anyone who acts out of the group and makes everyone lose all their investment doesn’t even need to dream of continuing in the Jingzhou investment circle in the future!

“Everyone, think!”

These investors finally accepted reality seeing how anxious Li Shi was.

Most of them were harboring a sure-win attitude and just dipping their hands in the cookie jar. There were many careful thoughts during the discussions. They wanted to push everything to Boss Pei while obtaining the best benefits for themselves.

However, no one was willing to take on this heavy burden now that Boss Pei was gone and Chen Kangtuo refused to speak.

Everyone understood their situation with Li Shi’s outburst. They would really be making ducks and drakes of this money if they did not put in any effort!

Li Shi took the lead. “I’ll start first. I’m going to open a horror-themed restaurant. I plan to make it look like a prison. Each private room will be a cell. The waitress in charge of delivering the meals would be pretty ladies dressed as jailers.

“Diners would be brought into cells with fake handcuffs. There would be no ordering process. The food would be served according to the number of people and taboos. The food would look a little scary like dark dishes. Drinks can be packed in plasma bags like blood.

“In addition, prison break performances would be shown regularly as a sideshow during dinner.

“As for the location… here.”

Li Shi pointed to a place on the map.

Everyone and different expressions. Some nodded, some frowned, but no one spoke. Obviously, some people had doubts about this location, but they were unsure if they were right so they were too embarrassed to speak

up.

Li Shi looked around at everyone. “This project will be finalized if no one has any opinions.”

No one spoke. Li Shi felt helpless. It seemed like he really could not count on them.

Someone coughed when he was about to go on to the next project. “Ahem, ahem, ahem.”

Everyone turned and saw Chen Kangtuo covering his mouth with a constipated face. Of course, it was not a real cough. He seemed to have something to say.

Everyone was waiting for him to speak, but they looked at each other for quite some time. However, he continued keeping mum.

Li Shi was confused as well, but he understood it after a short while. “Oh! You mean this location isn’t good?”

Chen Kangtuo showed a smile.

An investor chimed in immediately. “I think so, too! This place might have traffic but it is too close to the entrance. Which tourist will eat as soon as they come in? You should move it deeper into the tourist spot so that the tourists will be able to eat after they are tired!”

Li Shi nodded and changed the location. “What about here?”

Chen Kangtuo gave a constipated look again.

“I think it is too deep and not conducive to the future expansion of the haunted house.” Another investor added.

Li Shi changed another place. “There should be no problem if we open it here then.”

Chen Kangtuo smiled this time.

“Alright, the location of the restaurant is confirmed!” Li Shi said with gusto this time.

Everyone became more enthusiastic, having one successful case. They started putting forward their own projects.

Most people thought of horror themes at first such as horror hotels, horror clothing stores, horror magic toy stores, horror shops, horror desserts and snacks, horror buses, etc. However, with the continuous brainstorming and discussions about horror themes, ghosts and monsters became tiring. Some people started counter-proposing.

For example, open a very cozy maid cafe to comfort tourists’ injured souls. The haunted house experience voucher would allow you to be encouraged by the maid and give you healing drinks.

Build a healing spring in the square. It might look like an ordinary foundation, but the water would be warm. Tell the tourists to wash their hands in it to calm down from the ghosts and heal their wounds.

Plans were put forward and finalized after thorough discussions in no time

Chen Kangtuo stood by the side, constantly expressing his opinions with his facial expressions.

He had been on the Thriller Hostel project for months and had his own opinions on the location and selection of supporting facilities. He reminded them with his expression for more obviously problematic projects.

These investors would be able to guess the problem and bring them up decisively after careful deliberation.

The proposal was perfected after a few guesses like this.

Investors were not influenced solely by Chen Kangtuo’s mindset in this process. They came up with the best plan after brainstorming.

The entire discussion was a lot faster than they expected.

The floor plan was full of words in just over three hours. Boss Li and the others had divided up the area around the Thriller Hostel and arranged for various supporting facilities according to their optimal locations. That included restaurants, hotels, snack shops, toy shops, and everything that should be there!

Of course, that was just a small part of the industrial zones.

The proposal was roughly finalized.

An investor looked at the clear and detailed plan and could not help but sight. “It’s hard to imagine that this plan was made by us in less than three hours!”

Li Shi smiled silently. “Hmph, would you be able to come up with these plans if Boss Pei did not use this clever method to force you? Weren’t you thinking of fooling around by proposing a random shop?”

Everyone felt a little ashamed. That really seemed to be the case! Everyone would not have worked their brains if Boss Pei had indulged them from the beginning.

Of course, that did not mean that it was not good for Boss Pei to take over everything. However, there was always a limit to one person’s thinking. Boss Pei was busy with his work. It was impossible to devote all his energy to these plans. He could not accurately grasp the resources each investor had at their disposal.

All the investors took out their resources, racked their brains for ideas, and got Chen Kangtuo to counter-check for them through this current method. That was maximizing their resources indeed!

All the investors could not help but let out a sigh of relief. This proposal seemed to be more reliable as the seconds went by. Fortunately, it withstood Boss Pei’s test!

They would really regret it if they were to miss such a good project by giving up halfway through!

Chen Kangtuo could not help but smile when he saw this scene. He had completed his mission! He had helped them finalize a reliable plan without interfering with the thinking of these investors-strictly complying with Boss Pei’s requirement.

The quality of the supporting facilities could also be guaranteed in this way! Chen Kangtuo previously felt that Boss Pei should have spent the 40 million yuan on the supporting facilities to improve on its shortcomings.

However, Boss Pei’s approach was to invest all 40 million yuan into the Thriller Hostel itself to ensure it would give the tourists the best possible experiences. At the same time, Boss Pei allowed the other investors to dip their hands into the supporting facilities and fully mobilized their enthusiasm.

This way, both the Thriller Hostel project itself and the surrounding supporting facilities were now several times superior to the previous method!

Chen Kangtuo couldn’t help but feel moved.

As expected of Boss Pei, he had found the perfect solution long ago! Of course, I am not bad either.

If I did not possess a deep understanding of Boss Pei’s unconstrained way of thinking after working in Tengda Games for so long, I would have never thought of this. I naturally would not have been able to complete the task that Boss Pei hinted.

Today, I successfully solved Boss Pei’s new puzzle. That means I am one step closer to understanding Boss Pei’s thinking.

Happy!
